Eleven dishes for dinner were served with several Mr. Chow's favorites including Ma Mignon, Fresh Seabass, Beijing Chicken, and one special dish created by Mr. Chow which was prepared using Frida Kahlo Tequila, fresh garlic and lobster. Upstairs in one of the private rooms, several BET executives enjoyed the festivities, including Chairman Debra Lee and President of Music Programming/BET Awards Executive Producer Stephen Hill.

Around 10:30 p.m. North Camden Drive was filled with every luxury vehicle with talent waiting to get into the most-talked-about post awards party. A white stretch limo slowly drives down the street with BET Awards Host, Jaime Foxx, wanting to attend as well. Celebrities tired of waiting in the valet line, quickly rushed out their car and walked their way to the party including Sherri Shepherd and Kym Whitley while paparazzi followed them to the red carpet.

Invited guests received Heineken branded souvenir coins which were the signature ticket into the party, and the only way into this exclusive, high-profiled event.
